Spindle Opportunity shared by Lee Lincoln -
From Jorge Rodriguez.... I am a wood worker, (carvings, furniture, theater rooms, etc), but I don't do turning. I have a project to restore a Grandfather Clock for a customer (Circa-early 1900-probably English/French). One of the spindles was lost or destroyed so I have to re-create either an exact duplicate or replace both with a close resemblance of the missing one. (Hoping not to do the latter).

The material seemed to be either Dark Brown Oak or Mahogany.
I've recreated a pattern and 3-D pictorial for the spindle on ArtCam (so if you have a ShopBot with an indexer, this may be your lucky day)!

What I need is someone who can either produce a close enough blank so I can do the final carvings "or" if you can do the whole thing. I would need a price to do one or th other.
The rough dimensions are 2 1/2 Dx26 1/8"L. I will supply the exact dimensions once you can give me feedback on cost and lead-time for making the spindle.

If interested, I may be reached at (cell 407-928-2382 (may have to leave a message as typically on the road). Or e-mail at: jorgerpdriguez4@mac.com
I am located in Winter Garden, Florida.
Thanks
Jorge Rodriguez
